Service Provider
If you have selected an SMS or Instant Messaging address type, you must select the service provider that will be used to deliver the message. If no service provider has been defined, you will need to create one.
If a single service provider has been defined that matches the type of address you are editing, that provider will be selected automatically. Otherwise you will be presented with a choice of the available providers.
To change to a different provider, click the "..." button.
Note: When you are sending messages to SMS devices you will generally need to select the service provider that provides service for the device. For example, if you are creating notification addresses for a SkyTel pager and a Metrocall pager, each will have a separate service provider, because SkyTel will not deliver messages to Metrocall devices, and vice-versa. See the SMS messaging topic for more information.
Limit messages to
Check this option to limit the length of messages sent to this address. For example, if your text pager has a 300-character limit, you can specify that limit here.
When this option is checked, adTempus will not include any attachments on messages sent to this address.
If you are sending notification to a pager or other SMS device, the maximum message length accepted by the carrier is defined in the Service Provider Properties. The Service Provider Properties also include an option to have adTempus automatically split longer messages into multiple messages so that the entire message can be delivered to you.
In some cases, though, you may not want the full message sent. For example, if you pay for each page or character sent, you may not want a 10-part message delivered to you in its entirety. You can therefore limit the total number of characters that will be sent, which will also limit the number of pages.
